The eight artists have been commissioned to create the installation, created primarily with found items, as a wedding gift for Calgary newlyweds Sara Simpson and John Johnston. While many exhibits might

Canada’s unemployment rate fell 0.2% to the lowest level since December 2008 last month, putting more money into consumers’ pockets. Alberta was one of the lucky provinces that saw an overall rise in employed residents, while Ontario had an unfortunate decline.

The number of full-time jobs increased in Canada by about 25,000 over July, while the number of part-time jobs dropped by over 18 thousand. While this only places our unemployment rate down to 7.2 percent, it is still a welcome change for the 7,100 people who gained employment overall in July.
